Sir, Is there a post that discuss the usage of verbs perception?
Someone said “verbs perception can be followed by form verbs (bare infinitives/verb1), present participles (verb-ing) or past participles (verb3). kalau kalimat aktif memakai verbs perception diikuti bare inf atau verb 1 tanpa s/es artinya jadi “telah” atau bisa juga habitual action. kalau kalimat aktif memakai verbs perception diikuti present participle artinya sedang. Sedangkan kalau kalimat passive memakai verbs perception di ikuti to inf.”
I still doubt about that.

Sorry. A post regarding verbs of perception hasn’t been posted yet. For the time being, if you’d like, you can compare what your friend said to Perfect infinitives and Causative verbs in passive forms. Thanks.

Hm, there isn’t a post that discuss. I have clicked those links but I don’t find clear explanations.
